Talk about economic impact! As their ACE Communities project, ECKVILLE’s ACE committee has partnered with their local Recreation Board and Community Association to raise enough funds to hire the first-ever Recreation Director for the town.
The Town of Eckville, Conoco Phillips, the Eckville Legion, the Community Development Association, Medicine River Oil Recyclers, Fred’s Trucking, Keyera Energy, and the Lion’s Club all contributed funds towards the creation of this position. An application to Alberta’s Community Initiative Program (CIP) is also pending which could mean an even longer term reach for this new position.
The new Director, Wayne Hazell, has started his job this month. We would like to welcome Wayne and can’t wait to see what else the ACE Committee in Eckville can accomplish!
